Format:Audio CD
This is one of Anne Sophie Mutter's finest CDs and includes possibly the greatest interpretations of Sarasate's "Zigunerweisen" and Tartini's "Devil's Trill" to be heard. Mutter's incredible passion and dazzling virtuosity bring this music to life in a way no other violinist has achieved. From the very first note she commands your attention as she communicates the full range of human emotion through some of the most beautiful melodies composed. Her pianisimos in the Massenet Meditation and the Faure Berceuse are so exquisitely delicate they take your breath away.

This is a real feast for Muter lovers and for Carmen lovers. Throughout the playing is sensitive and as always with her, maximizes nuance. The "Zigunerweisen" is especially memorable. Recording is crisp and plays beautifully on my four-speaker surround. Loved every glorious second of it.
Format:Audio CD
I have still got her first recording of the 3rd and 5th Mozart concertos that she made at age 14. I was only 2 years older than her and studying violin and found her spellbinding then as I still do now. This recording is brilliant ranging from the big encore style show off stuff to utterly breathtaking quietness in Meditation and Berceuse. If you love Carmen you'll enjoy the playfulness and sheer brilliance of the Fantasie. There are no rough edges as with some violinists and the purity of sound that Mutter produces is awesome especially on the top notes. Thoroughly recommend this even if you're not too familiar with these works as you'll recognise some of the tunes. Enjoy!
